Check My Status: CA Official ToolWhy you should check, even if you've voted before
Voter rolls change. Don't assume your registration from a previous election is still valid.
You've moved
Your registration is tied to your address. If you've moved, even within the same city, you need to update your registration.
Name change
Marriage, divorce, or a legal name change requires updating your voter registration to match your ID.
Purge risk
California periodically removes inactive voters from the rolls. Checking your status confirms you're still active.
Party preference
Some primary elections are closed. Verify your party affiliation is correct if you want to vote in a specific party's primary.
What to verify when you check
Your full legal name matches your ID
Your current residential address is on file
Your party preference is correct
Your registration status shows as "Active"
Your polling place or vote center is listed
